Warmode - SMP PvP reimagined

If you are tired of vanilla Survival Multiplayer, this is the perfect data-pack for you, with features that incentivizes PvP. This data-pack adds currency, team system, pets, new crafting system and much more!

The purpose of this data-pack is to make PvP the main focus of the Survival Multiplayer server. The team system let's players split themselves into different teams and create their own factions. Attacking and slaying players from different teams gives you Essence which let's you craft better gear. This data-pack does not affect the PvP mechanics itself. This data-pack changes what you gain from PvP interactions and influences the progression loop of the game.

Features
💵 Currency - Essence
Essence is gained by slaying enemy players from other teams. With Essence and materials you can craft better gear like weapons, armor and many other items!

🛠 New crafting system - Conjuration and Infusion
Every player gets a crafting book with all the recipes. To craft new gear drop the materials needed for a recipe on a specified block and it will turn into an item, but be sure to have enough Essence for the recipe.

🐾 Pets - Pillagers
Brew up a Cupid's arrow and shoot a pillager with it to make the pillager follow you and attack other players. You can also make it stationary by right-clicking on it's legs!

🚀 Other features

• Giving Essence to other players./trigger giveEssence set #amount

    If you have enough Essence the amount will be transferred to the player standing nearest to you.

• Streak system. Players that have many kills in a row award you more Essence when slayed. On the other hand players that have died many times in a row will award you less Essence when slayed.
• Team change. Players can craft "Team change" with a new crafting system. After having crafted a "Team change" players can change teams with a command /trigger chooseTeam set #teamNumber

📕 General tips

• This pack is best experienced in a multiplayer server. It's recommended playing with at least 6 players (2 teams with 3 players or 3 teams with 2).
• Set up some ground rules for your server to insure a fair and fun playing environment. Example: no spawn camping, no killing in a distinguished safe zone, no game mechanic exploitation.
  It's very easy to exploit Essence gathering as players can change teams and farm by killing each other.
• Upon first login every player gets several books which describe how the pack works, simple rules and etc. You should brief players about the rules you impose.
